Probably false, although I did see _Dante’s Inferno_ (Italy 1911) not too long ago. TNP is a Dante fan. ---

I guess so. But only in the sense that I occasionally like to consign (it’s a daunting responsibility) certain people to the appropriate circles in hell when the occasion requires it. And I guess we have him to thank for that. To be honest I don’t believe I’ve even read the Divine Comedy. TNP has played a board game in the last 90 days ---

Card games (Exploding Kittens and Uno), yes. Board game, no. TNP has played Exploding Kittens: [Exploding Kittens - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_Kittens) ---

False although I have heard good things about it. TNG enjoys playing poker. It doesn’t matter whether you play for candy, pennies or real money. The game is what matters, not the stakes. ---

True. I do like poker especially with friends or family for pennies, though haven’t played in a long time. TNP has played Cards against Humanity. ---

False. I hate beer. The next person shaves at least one body part, other than the face. ---

Yes, I have played Cards against Humanity (and loved it - good raunchy fun). No, I do not shave anywhere other than my face. TNP is listening to the radio right now. ---

Nope. TNP is not generally fond of buffet style dining ---

True with the exception of a nice pizza buffet. That still works for me. TNP has eaten a meal with some variation of pasta and tomato sauce within the last 7 days. ---

True went to one of the fancier pizza places here( with a wood fired oven, etc). Had a delicious rigatoni pomodoro with added chicken and mushrooms. TNP has either operated or seen operated, a ham radio, and describe what that is. ---

I saw it done at a science museum once - amateur radio with an international, near-worldwide broadcast capability. TNP could do with a ham sandwich right about now. ---

Very True. TNP, however, is not a fan of egg salad sandwiches. ---
**Author:** ![Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/e/7cd45c/32.png) [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Elendil_s_Heir)\ **Post date:** [October 17, 2018, 7:31pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507/1353 "2018-10-17T19:31:13Z")
Tuna fish salad, yes. Egg salad, not so much. TNP has seen the early Woody Allen movie _What’s Up, Tiger Lily?_, about a Japanese secret agent’s search for the world’s greatest egg salad recipe. ---

Absolutely coming from a longtime Woodster fan. Dubbing a shlockey Japanese spy movie, he came up with great lines like a knocked out spy waking up, rubbing his head and saying “Ow my leg” or later being shown a line of the villain’s “girls” suddenly exclaiming “Mom?”, and so on… TNP would rather watch Woody Allen’s “silly” preAnnie Hall comedies than his later more serious movies. ---

True. I love especially the early, funny ones. TNP is realizing right this moment that they’ve forgotten something important they had to do. ---

False, but give me a second, I’m sure one of many things will come to me. TNP hasn’t played a game of cards in months. ---

True, I guess. Last played poker around 6 months ago. TNP has witnessed a fairly heated exchange between co-workers within the past 6 months. ---
**Author:** ![Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/e/7cd45c/32.png) [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Elendil_s_Heir)\ **Post date:** [October 18, 2018, 2:19pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507/1358 "2018-10-18T14:19:30Z")
Before that, yes, but not that recently. Fortunately, fisticuffs did not result. TNP knows a pro or amateur boxer. ---

False. But I was once in a room containing 20 or so people and one of them was Mike Tyson. TNP can, right now, looking straight ahead, see some sort of Halloween decoration in their direct or peripheral vision. ---

If I were at home, probably yes. But here at court, no. TNP has been to court in the past month. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=67) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=69)
